How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
  2. Multiply: 0.29 × 26 = 7.54
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.54 ÷ 26 × 100 = 29%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/26, so part = 29 × 26 ÷ 100 = 7.54. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =29%*26. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

What the result means

7.54 is the 29% share of 26. The remaining 71% is 18.46, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 29% off an item priced $26 saves $7.54, so you pay $18.46.

Adding and taking away 29%

Increasing 26 by 29% gives 33.54 and decreasing it by 29% gives 18.46. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 23.8134, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
